Seminar on Optical Methods for Food Quality Analysis aims to bring together leading academic scientists and researchers from
research institutes to exchange and share their experiences and research results on all aspects of Optical Methods for Food Quality
Analysis. In addition, instrumental developments made by NILOP will be presented/displayed to seminar participants. It also provides
a premier interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations,
trends, and concerns as well as practical challenges encountered and solutions adopted in the fields of Optical Methods for Food
Quality Analysis.
Scope of Seminar
o Optical methods/instrumentations development for the determination of food quality
and their edge on conventional methods
o Chemometrics for food quality analysis
o Multivariate methods for quantitative analysis - food authentication
o Innovative optical methods for detection of food contaminants, ingredients, and additives
o Optical techniques for food shelf life monitoring
o Optical sensing for food quality
o Optical methods to increase food shelf life

Call for Contributions

Prospective researchers are kindly encouraged to contribute to shape the seminar
through submissions of their high quality research contributions in all areas of Optical
Methods for Food Quality Analysis for oral & poster presentation at the conference.
High quality research abstracts will be published as outcomes of the seminar.
